Mechanical Engineering Co-op
Department: Dishwasher
My experience
Overview
My Fall 2019 role primarily consisted of coordinating with suppliers and lab technicians in order to test and qualify cheaper alternatives to current materials and designs.
Even though I got stuck in a role that wasn't for me, there is a ton of opportunities to make friends and find yourself helping with projects that may not be under your boss. There are a TON (150+) co-ops on site so there is a lot of opportunity to make friends. GE Appliances has a stellar rotational program for engineers (Edison Engineering Development Program) that is worth looking into upon graduation.
Would recommend it to people who...
Are looking for a company with lots of co-ops on a big campus and to get an introductory view of the engineering field.

This was not a difficult interview process. It was a simple one round chat with my recruiter. Very low stakes and relaxed.
Advice on how to prepare
There is a difference between being a Supply Chain and Mechanical Engineering co-op. Supply chain has more to do with the factory, and mechanical engineering has more to to do with design/testing/analysis. Engineers are hired into both roles.
